“Dr. Felch has passed away,” said Zachary softly. “Did you not know?”

“What?” Francesca was dumbstruck. “Is that true? When did that happen?”

“Two months ago...” Zachary told her what had transpired briefly, “He passed away in H City. Charlotte

and I sent him off and even went to Mount Phoenix to perform the last rites for him.”

Francesca widened her eyes in shock and disbelief. “Dr. Felch is gone? He's actually dead?”

“My condolences.” Zachary realized that Francesca still cared about Dr. Felch. Once a teacher, always

a teacher. Dr. Felch had brought her up and taught her everything he had ever learned in this lifetime.

Kindness like this could never be erased with time.

“He didn't contact me even when he was about to pass away.” Francesca looked down and appeared

upset. “Does he still blame me?”

“I doubt so...” Zachary remembered what happened before Dr. Felch passed on. “Before he left, he

gave me a prescription and told me to look for you. He said you are the only one in this world who can

save me.”

Francesca was surprised. “Did he really say that?”

“Yes.” Zachary nodded. “That's the reason why I have been sending people out to look for you. The

thing is, we thought we were looking for a middle-aged man.”

“So, what did he mean when he said that?” Francesca frowned and asked. “He has never approved of

me—”

“Dr. Felch was indebted to Charlotte's father. That was why he did everything he could to treat

Charlotte and the children. Moreover, since he doted on Charlotte, he was very nice to me as well.

Before he passed away, the poison in my body had already penetrated my bones. My condition was

getting serious. He gave everything he could to write down a prescription. Unfortunately, he no longer

had the energy to carry out the treatment for me. That's why he told me to look for you. In my opinion,

that basically means that he is approving of your medical skills and you as a person as well.”

Zachary meant every single word he had just said.

Francesca was touched. “Back when I wanted to learn modern medicine, Dr. Felch gave me a tongue

lashing. He said that I had forgotten my roots and that traditional medicine was the best in the world of

medicine. As long as I was willing to focus and study intensively, I would become a very good doctor.

But, I believed firmly that if we can combine the best of both worlds and master them, then we can

achieve true greatness. Unfortunately, both of us disagreed with one another, and neither of us could

convince the other person. In the end, we parted ways. I remember the day I left. It was pouring

heavily, and Dr. Felch refused to let me take anything out of the house. I had no choice but to leave in

the rain. He warned me not to mention his name should I encounter any issues in the future. I swore I

would return as the best doctor in the world. I wanted to prove myself to him. Yet before I could go

back, he has already...”

Here, Francesca sighed. “1 don't know if he has ever thought about me after that. I wonder, when he

thought of me, was he still angry with me, or was he pleased with me?”

“Of course, he was pleased,” Zachary comforted her. “If not, he wouldn't have asked me to look for

you.”

“That's true.” Francesca smiled bitterly. “Enough of that. Let's return to the main topic. Where is the

prescription?”

Francesca raised her eyebrows. “How did you know I will be going there tonight?” Co?tent оf
